Six-Point Suspension Vs. Six-Point Internal

I have used the LF/SW's six-point internal support system for two years and the six-point suspension system for one year. Here is my conclusion. For uber high tension like 32 lbs or more, six-point internal supports is a lot better than the other.

The frame move a lot more under the six-point suspension system, but mounting a racquet is so easy and fast.

The frame doesn't move at all or very little under the six-point internal suspension system, but mounting a racquet is a bitch.

Here is a gadget for keeping the cross from deforming as much during tensioning the cross. It is used for machines without external frame supports.

hmm, i dont see the advantage of having the bar running throught the stringbed

The stress-relief bar is used mainly by some stringers in Hong Kong, who have only 2-point machines, to string at high tension. The best ones are from Japan. Stress bars, awls and a thick round wooden grip/handle for pulling and tensioning were mandatory in the old days when stringing was done by hand. It doesn't get in your way.

u misread my post. I was referring to the off center bar, 1/2 on top, 1/2 on bottom. There are + and - but personally i see more minus than plus.
